Indian Air Force Capability

The ongoing conflicts have demonstrated the requirement to have a strong and capable Air Force.

In a boost to indigenous missile manufacturing capabilities, the Indian Air Force has given clearance to public sector firm Bharat Dynamics Limited for the production of 200 Astra Mark 1 air-to-air missiles.

The Indian Air Force (IAF) on Saturday displayed its firepower capability at a mega exercise featuring over 120 aircraft, including frontline fighter jets and attack helicopters in Rajasthan's Pokhran desert.

The Indian Air Force will display its full spectrum of combat and fire capabilities during Exercise Vayu Shakti-2024 at the Pokharan range close to the India-Pakistan border in Rajasthan on February 17.

Air Marshal SP Dharkar on Sunday said that the Indian Air Force is developing its capability to use any available airfields, including civilian ones, in the eastern part of the country to mitigate the shortage of such landing facilities.

In a boost to its capabilities to destroy enemy targets hidden behind mountains, the Indian Air Force (IAF) has received the Israeli Spike Non-Line of Sight (NLOS) anti-tank guided missiles which can hit targets from distances up to 30 km.

IAF is expected to get deliveries of upgraded LCA Tejas MK-1A from February next year, and the new variant of the indigenously-built jet will be capable of firing a plethora of weapons, including beyond visual range missiles.

Digitisation, automation and data analytics should be exploited to enhance logistics capabilities of the Indian Air Force, Air Chief Marshal VR Chaudhari said on Tuesday.
